The system consists of the kidneys, the ureter, the urinary bladder and the urethra. The kidneys regulate key ingredients in blood: water, electrolytes and blood pH. They also excrete waste products and toxic materials processed by the liver. By regulating water excretion in the urine, they help regulate blood pressure as well. Each kidney contains approximately 1 million filtration units called nephrons, which filter about 180L (47.55 gal) of fluid daily. Only a small fraction of the filtered fluid, about 2 liters, leaves as urine.

Most electrolytes, glucose and water are resorbed and recycled. Therefore, urine represents concentrated was
